Daytime Emmy Nominations Feeling Very Restless

Nominations for the 35th annual Daytime Emmy awards were announced Wednesday, and CBS' daytime lineup has the early lead with 51 total nods - or for comparison purposes 12.75 nominations per soap. ABC netted 27 noms for its three sudsers, while NBC's
Days of Our Lives and
Passions amassed 10 bids between 'em.
Among the noteworthy tallies,
The Young and the Restless collected 11 acting nods, including at least one contender in every race, while
Days made an atypically strong showing, scoring four acting nominees. Kudoscast host ABC, meanwhile, may want to instead broadcast a test pattern, as
All My Children,
General Hospital and
One Life to Live netted just three acting nods
combined. That said, both
GH and
OLTL are vying in both the outstanding drama series and writing contests.
